Albanaise, 1800
Type: Brig sloop ; Armament 14
Captured : from the French 1800 ;
Date given up to the enemy : 23 Nov 1800
Disposal Details : Captured by her crew mutinying and carrying her into Malaga. Captain Fran. Newcombe.
Notes:

Late 1800, a mutiny is reported by the Naval Chronicle to have taken place on board the bomb vessel Thunder, Captain Francis Newcombe, and the ship carried into Bilboa, in Spain, but can find no mention of this elsewhere, so reckon it must have been confused with the mutiny which took place on board the brig Albanaise on 23 Nov 1800, which was taken into Malaga and given up to the Spanish.
